BS 50: Topics
BS50
 Sterile techniques (basics, plating microorganisms, titers and dilutions, mammalian cell
culture)
 Chip analysis (techniques, SNPs/pharmacogenomics, transcriptional profiling,
limitations of data)
 Meiosis and tetrad analysis (Meiosis animation, Neurospora vs Saccharomyces, tetrad
dissection vs random sporulation)
 Use of reporters (B-galactosidase, GFP, others)
 Northerns and Southerns
 Cloning, transformation, and transfection
BS 52: Topics
BS 52
 Electrophoresis (agarose vs acrylamide, what %, what Amp/Volt to run at, IEF, capillary)
 DNA sequencing (Restriction enzyme mapping, lab/gel techniques, methods such as
PCR, Sanger, automated, etc.)
 DNA topology (1D/2D gels, animation of enzymatic reaction, run on gel)
 Gel shift/analysis of DNA binding proteins
 Staining and labeling (histology/cells, DNA, types of stains used, when and why they
work, radioactivity, enzymatic assays)
 FISH
http://www.courses.fas.harvard.edu/~bs52
BS 54: Topics
BS54
 Centrifugation (vocabulary, techniques, types of rotors, supernatant vs pellet, from
microfuge to Sorvall to ultra)
 Generation of antibodies (polyclonal vs monoclonal, modified secondary antibodies)
 Beads and Tags (biochemical sorting, IP/Co-IPs, GST, 6-His, cell sorting, agarose
beads, etc.)
 Gradients (refer to ultracentrifugation, subcellular fractionation, how to get molecular
materials, labelled organelles?, DNA/CsCl gradient, proteins such as ribosomes, etc)
 Protein sequencing and analysis (old vs new methods)
 ELISA
